If your integrated amplifi er or preamp has a ‘tape 2’ loop (sometimes called recording loop) or ‘Pre in/out’: • Connect the output of the ‘tape 2’ loop / ‘Pre out’ to the input of the RP-1. • Then connect the output of the RP-1 to the input of the ‘tape 2’ loop / ‘Pre in’. Using this confi...
Setup options of Main and Line outputs As described in “Routing” and “Crossover Frequency” there are many ways to utilize the Main and Line out- puts. Here we have described the three most common set-up´s. Please note the products, outputs and cross- over frequencies are chosen randomly in these descriptions.
Menu System The Main Display on the front panel of the RP-1 shows all functionality and current status of the RP-1. An overview of the menu tree can be seen in the ‘Menu Tree’ chapter. Navigating the Menu System Pressing the Menu button on the front panel or the remote enters the menu or steps back one level in the menu system.

Introduction to RoomPerfect™ Once the guided set-up has been successfully completed you have the option to listen to music through two listening settings; Focus and Global room correction fi lters. To toggle between the two fi lters and ‘Bypass’ you simply press the Up/Down buttons on the front panel or remote control.They can also be selected directly with the numerical buttons on the remote, 0 for bypass, 1 for Focus or 9 for Global.
RoomPerfect™ The sub menus accessible in the RoomPerfect™ menu are: Advanced options is only available when Guided set-up has been performed. Guided Setup When you enter the RoomPerfect™ Main Menu for the fi rst time, only the Guided setup is available. Press Enter to initiate the guided set-up.
Setting the Measurement Volume Level When setting the measurement volume level, it is important that you always judge whether the calibra- tion volume is too loud. The calibration volume should not be so loud that it causes: • uncomfortably loud sounds that are inconvenient to you or your environment, or •...
When the message ‘Calibration ok. Press Enter to continue’ is displayed, the calibration volume has suc- cessfully been set and saved. Focus Measurement When the calibration is OK, press Enter to start the measuring process and ‘Measuring Focus position …’ will be displayed. Each measurement comprises four steps: •...
For an optimal room correction it is very important that the measurements are: 1. performed more than 1 meter (approx. 3 feet) away from the loudspeakers, 2. not performed behind the loudspeaker, and 3. that there is at least 50 cm/1.5 ft between each measurement. When a random measuring position and microphone orientation has been chosen press Enter.
Calculation of Focus and Global Filters When RoomPerfect™ calculates the fi lters the display shows the following, ‘Calculating fi lters - Please wait’. The fi lter calculation process can be expected to take anywhere between 5 seconds and a minute de- pending on the specifi...
Advanced Options This section describes the options in the advanced menu, which is available after Guided Setup has been completed. Here you can change the listening position and add more room measurements, check the RoomKnowledge of your current set-up, and check the RoomCorrection for the different fi lters.

If enabled the Main Display reading will switch off after 10 sec of inactivity from the front panel buttons or re- mote.
Input Sensitivity The Input Sensitivity setting enables you to match the line level output of your pre-amplifi er to the input sensitivity of the Lyngdorf Audio RP-1. The normal settings are: • Select ‘High’ for input levels <= 2.2Vrms and the output/input levels of your pre- and power amplifi...
Line Out Level This adjusts the overall output level in steps of -0.1 db, it can be attenuated to –40 dB in total. Routing In Routing it is possible to apply different settings to the Main and Line outputs: Symbol Highpass fi...
By using a high crossover frequency, the rear wall quarter wavelength refl ection is removed from the main speakers. If a Lyngdorf Audio boundary woofer is used in a 2+2 set-up, a crossover frequency of 400 is recom- mended due to the high bandwidth of the boundary woofer.
However, if the distance isn’t identical and/or you are using a sub- woofer, or a Lyngdorf Audio 2+2 system, you need to set a delay in order to ensure that the sound from each loudspeaker reaches the listening position simultaneously.
